Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an access control device that can be easily fitted or refitted to doors without needing to drill additional holes. The device has a fixing member that is electrically conductive, which allows for the transfer of electrical data signals between the user interface and actuating control units. This means that electrical signals can be used to efficiently transfer data.

Problems solved by technology

Holes may be required in such doors in order to install and fit locks, and the number of holes present in such doors may become a larger problem when locks need to be replaced and additional holes need to be made.

Embodiment Construction

[0082]In embodiments, one component (or unit) of an access control device is required to be mechanically clamped (or secured) to each side of a door at an access point. Generally a user interface unit is positioned on one side of the door for receiving user inputs and an actuating control unit for controlling access (i.e. by locking or unlocking the door) is placed on the other side of the door. The access control device requires power and signals to be passed from one side of the door to the other to maintain functionality of the two halves of the device. Mounting holes drilled into the door potentially weaken the door's fire protection rating. Removing the need for further holes to be drilled into a door for the passing of cables, may allow the fire rating to stay intact without negative impact.

[0083]Mounting hole positions and sizes of these holes change between different international standards of mortice lockset. Any access device control that is to be clamped on both sides of ...

Abstract

An access control device 3 comprising: a locking mechanism 1 for a moveable barrier 2; a first locking / user interface component 6 for positioning on a first side of the moveable barrier; and a second locking / user interface component 7 for positioning on a second side of the moveable barrier. The first and second components are arranged to be secured to an intermediary barrier member 4, provided with either a first set of through holes for a first alternative locking member or a second set of through holes for a second alternative locking member, the first set of through holes including a hole having a mutually distinct position from a hole included in the second set of through holes. The first and second components are provided with fixing apertures 19 21 corresponding to the first and second sets of through holes so that the components can be secured via a fixing 17 18 placed in a hole corresponding to either of the alternative locking members, without requiring additional through holes in the moveable barrier. A method of fitting an access control device is also provided.

Description

[0001]The present invention generally relates to access control devices and a corresponding method of fixing an access control device, particularly for use in doors.[0002]Electro-mechanical and electronic access control devices, commonly referred to as locks, need to pass electrical power and or signal data between electrical components to operate and to allow the decoding of inputs caused by persons attempting access and also to provide motive force for initiating unlocking.[0003]Such locks are often used in doors, including fire doors. Fire doors have to meet certain regulations; for instance, in the UK they must be subjected to a British Standard Fire Test. Regulations may not be met, or the fire rating of a door may be reduced, if for instance a fire door contains holes. Holes may be required in such doors in order to install and fit locks, and the number of holes present in such doors may become a larger problem when locks need to be replaced and additional holes need to be mad...
